Piaget’s 2025 novelties, unveiled at Watches and Wonders, celebrate six decades of boundary-pushing design while honouring the Maison’s 150-year legacy of fusing technical mastery with artistic audacity. From reimagined icons like the Andy Warhol watch to bold reinterpretations of the Piaget Polo 79 and avant-garde jewellery timepieces, the collection embodies a dialogue between past and present.
The Andy Warhol Watch: A Kaleidoscope of Colour
The extraordinarily lustrous opal dial, alive with sparks of blue and green, is a wonder in itself – a sweep of deeply radiant gemstone in a size large enough to make up the 45mm case is rare indeed. Opal –Yves Piaget’s favourite stone – has long been seen as a symbol of purity and truth, and in this case, it is only made more vibrant by the perfectly calibrated blue of the triple-row baguette-cut sapphire gadroons that encircle it; a collection of stones in a uniformly scintillating blue that was a true challenge for Piaget’s gemmologists to collect. “The world to me is like an opal, made of different tastes and colours”, used to say Yves Piaget. Sporting elegantly tapered dauphine hands, this new High Jewellery creation combines Piaget’s particular mastery of colour and its affinity with precious gems to imbue it with all the Maison’s know-how, from watchmaker to jeweller.
Joining a new watch range that includes 2024’s blue meteorite Andy Warhol Clou de Paris watch is a new vision with a dial hewn from tiger’s eye, a silky, richly amber ornamental stone with deep orange and brown tones, particularly beloved in designs from the 1960s on. Expertly cut to enhance the stone’s delicate golden needles, the dial is a combination of natural graphic stripes and opalescent luster. This new addition to Piaget’s ornamental stone dial range joins the blue meteorite Clou de Paris version, as well as examples with green and white meteorite dials showcased at Watches & Wonders. The deep green meteorite face matching with white gold gadroon case, while the graphically flecked white meteorite face is beautifully juxtaposed with soft, rose gold.
Powered by the in-house 501P1 Manufacture self-winding movement the new Andy Warhol tiger’s eye watch is an obvious member of a line up which already includes a made-to-order offering. Ten different ornamental stone dials, five differently coloured leather straps, a choice of hand styles (baton or dauphine) and in white or rose gold – endless iterations for collectors to play with to create their own unique Piaget Andy Warhol identity and make it their sign of distinction. The watches are priced at cca CHF 56,000 (EUR 56,000) or approximately US$60,000.
For collectors seeking exclusivity, Piaget offers a bespoke programme with ten ornamental stone dials, including tiger’s eye and opal, alongside customisable strap colours and case materials in white or rose gold. This ensures each piece is as unique as its wearer.
Piaget Polo 79: White Gold Renaissance
First introduced in 1979 as Piaget’s inaugural named model, the Polo 79 returns in white gold for 2025. With its signature gadroons—alternating polished and brushed lines—the integrated bracelet-case design now comes in a contemporary size. Powered by the ultra-thin calibre 1200P1 micro-rotor movement with a 44-hour power reserve, this model is water-resistant up to 50 metres. The Polo 79 is available at A$120,000, reinforcing its position as a symbol of “sophisticated sports luxury”.
Swinging Sautoirs & Cuff Watches: Jewellery Meets Horology
Piaget’s Swinging Sautoirs and cuff watches revive the glamour of the late 1960s with modern updates:
Swinging Sautoirs: These high jewellery pieces feature long gold chains adorned with vibrant gemstones such as turquoise beads, malachite branches, and diamonds. One standout model includes a detachable turquoise dial surrounded by diamonds and set with a 29.24-carat Sri Lankan yellow sapphire and a 6.11-carat aquamarine.
Hidden Treasures Cuffs: Asymmetrical designs crafted from white or pink gold include opal dials or snake motifs paired with green enamel. These timepieces are inspired by natural textures and serve as both watches and statement jewellery pieces.
Sixtie Collection: Trapeze-Shaped Audacity
The Sixtie collection reinterprets Piaget’s daring trapezoidal designs from 1969 with softened geometry and flexible gold bracelets. Key features include:
- Interlaced Trapeze Links: Articulated trapezoid links that drape fluidly over the wrist, blending retro glamour with modern sophistication.
- Material Versatility: Options range from steel and two-tone models to diamond-set gold versions, including a turquoise-dial variant4.
Rainbow Aura: A Spectrum of Mastery
The Rainbow Aura High Jewellery watch transforms Piaget’s original 1989 design into an explosion of colour through meticulously calibrated gemstones. Nearly invisible settings create seamless transitions between hues, showcasing Piaget’s unparalleled gem-setting expertise honed over decades4.
Shaping Time Through Centuries
From Georges-Édouard Piaget’s founding workshop in La Côte-aux-Fées in 1874 to the revolutionary designs of the Swinging Sautoirs in the late 1960s, Piaget has consistently redefined luxury watchmaking. The novelties unveiled at Watches and Wonders 2025—whether through the artistic collaborations of the Andy Warhol Clou de Paris watch, the Polo 79’s white gold renaissance, or the Sixtie collection’s bold geometry—demonstrate that Piaget remains at the forefront of innovation while staying true to its heritage. As guardians of ultra-thin movements and creators of wearable art, Piaget continues to shape not just time but also timeless elegance for generations to come.
